I don't even know where to begin with this concert! Beyond amazing & any expectations I had for sure!
We arrived at the venue early to check it out & to see where we could possibly eat dinner. Before anything I spotted the tour buses & was surprised that they were out in the open. I made a mental note to check back later after the show. Here's a few pictures of when we found the buses.
Soon we made it into the venue & found our seats. I was surprised for being on the balcony we were able to see the stage quite well. The opening band "The Rocket Summer" began. They weren't bad but not really my taste in music. Here's a few photos.
Before we knew it the music began for the Goo Goo Dolls. Words can't even describe how they opened the show. I keep saying that it was amazing & that's really all I can say because it truly was! They played all their hits & a few others. Here's some photos.
After the show was when the fun began. People were waiting by the buses so my friend Amanda & I did just that. Don't ask how I got to the front of the crowd of people but we did. We watched as their set was loaded onto different trailers & suddenly the Goo Goo Dolls drummer, Mike came out to greet us. I was surprised because it didn't take a while at all. He took as many pictures as he could & signed some items before going back on the bus. (See pictures below.) Before we knew it the bus pulled out & we were left standing there. Before we left we took pictures by their other bus & decided on a midnight snack of McDonalds.
On our way home we were traveling the interstate eating our food when we happened to come across a tour bus. Yes it really was the Goo Goo Dolls bus! I did take video & I wil upload it as soon as I have time. Let's just say I was freaking out! Here's a picture I tried to take. It didn't come out good but you can see there is a bus there.
All in all I give The Rocket Summer a tumbs up. They need to get their act together a little bit but they're new.
I give the Goo Goo Dolls two thumbs up & a fuck yea! They were beyond amazing & I really can't wait until I can see them again!
